Acts 10:1-8

In this sermon we are introduced to the mighty and meek Roman Centurion Cornelius. From all external and internal appearances he was a man who had everything, that is besides the one thing that would make him complete - - - to know Jesus Christ. God sends Peter in response to Cornelius's prayers; who or what has God put in your life to draw you to him? Will you resist or receive his answer to your prayers?

Daniel 3:18

In this message, Alex explains what it means to be “Predetermined” in your walk with Jesus Christ. By walking through different examples in the Bible, it is clear that we must purpose in our hearts to choose Christ over self, else we will fail in moments of temptation.

Acts 9:31-43

This weeks message provides us insight not just into the Apostle Peter’s ministry strategy, but also into his heart and mind. He was a man who was motivated by God’s word and will over his life and it formed a ministry pattern that we are still in wonder of today. What was his focus? What was his heart?

Acts 9:10-31

Last week we learned about Saul, the persecutor of the church who met Christ and became the Apostle Paul. This week we take a look at the earliest days of his ministry and how God used his testimony to subside the concerns of the early church who knew him as a dangerous individual. His example shows us how a testimony of faithfulness proves to everyone around us that God's love is alive in us.

Acts 8:1-9

This week we are introduced to Saul, soon to become the Apostle Paul. Prior to his conversion he had passions, purposes and a plans that ran counter to God's. When he met God all of that changed and he became the premier ensample for the NT believer. This study gives and object lesson on how to properly hear and respond to the voice of God.

John 11:1-45

This week we looked at the foundational love of God through the story of Lazarus. In the midst of great trial, God’s timing can be misunderstood, but through the lens of God’s unfailing love we can view it properly.

Acts 8:25-40

Today we look at the work of Philip the Evangelist and consider "what made him an effective minister?". What were the principles that guided him in soul-winning? What are the character qualities that we need to be more prepared for the work of preaching the gospel?

Acts 8:14-24

A continuation on our story of Simon the Sorcerer who believed he could place of financial value on divine things. This passage teaches us a lot about our sinful temptation to look for personal gain in our spiritual lives. We also conduct an overview of the changes in the reception of the Holy Spirit in Acts.

Acts 8:9-24

In Acts 8:9 we meet Simon the Sorcerer, a man used to subvert the salvation of the Samaritan people. Often times we will encounter those who interfere with or even counterfeit true spirituality causing distractions in ministry. How do we guard against this kind of work and more importantly, how do we guard our hearts from becoming subverters ourselves?

Acts 8:3-8

This this second message that introduces us to the persecution of the early church, when Christians scattered with the gospel on their lips. They did not allow their circumstances to steal their message, in fact their circumstances were nothing more than opportunity to speak Christ!

Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8

In this sermon Pastor Mike Reneau makes clear both philosophically and practically what our call to missions looks like. He also takes the time to share with us his calling to plant a church in Boston.

Acts 8:1-3

After Stephen's death the church in Jerusalem enters an increasingly hostile ministry environment. People begin to scatter into the surrounding regions taking the gospel with them. In this message we consider a series of significant principles about hope, persecution and spiritual warfare.

Acts 7:14-60

In this study of Stephen's history lesson to the Jewish rulers, we have learned how Abraham had a relationship with God without a temple and we have seen how Joseph was rejected but God still used him to redeem his people and the whole world. In this study we learn about Moses: his heart & his identity. We also see the religious leaders exposed for who they truly are.

Acts 7:1-14

We have been studying the powerful message of Stephen preached in opposition to the religious rulers accusations against him. Last week we learned how Abraham followed by faith and by word, exposing the religious rulers inability to see God outside of the law and the temple. This week we learn about the life of Joseph, his rejection and the salvation that he brought to the world.

Acts 1-4

For the past couple of months Pastor Brandon has been walking us through the book of Acts. Today Pastor Sam shared his heart with us surveying the first four chapters of Acts, giving us keys to ministering in the power of God.

Acts 6:8- 7:7

Last week we were introduced to Stephen, a deacon in the church and a man of great wisdom. His power was his great faith that invited the Holy Spirit to speak mightily through him. In this message we find the Jewish people stirred up against Stephen, making accusations against him. Here we see Stephen respond with great clarity and peace in the midst of temptation - - a testimony to us of who we ought to be as ministers of the gospel.

Acts 7

This week, Pastor Brandon walks through some of the major points in our study of the Acts of the Apostles. We see how God has been moving in the early church and the persecution that followed. These elements come to a head with the story of Stephen, a testimony of true faith.
